Hudson-Bergen,
NEW
JERSEY
A prominent addition to the New
Jersey Transit system and the Newark City Subway, Kinkisharyo's
low-floor design vehicles connect people from Bayonne to Jersey
City and Hoboken, as well as north and west into Bergen County.
The Light Rail Vehicle system solved commuter demands in an
already congested area so close to Manhattan with easy, efficient
connections to the PATH trains. It continues to be an enormous
benefit to the Hudson River area as urban redevelopment has
expanded quickly and beyond all expectations.
The
importance
of
this
new
system
would
become
vital
in
the
post
9/11
world
when
many
large
institutions
relocated
to
New
Jersey
from
Lower
Manhattan
.
As
a
result,
the
ridership
tripled
and
Kinkisharyo
was
called
on
to
expand
the
fleet
of
vehicles
to
73
LRV's
to
meet
the
growing
commuter
demands.
Assembling
the
cars
locally
in
the
Hudson-Bergen
Operation
&
Maintenance
facility,
we
delivered
the
cars.and
as
always,
we
delivered
them
ahead
of
schedule,
continuing
our
100%
on-time
delivery
record.
With
great
commercial
and
residential
growth
continuing
to
reshape
the
New
Jersey
landscape,
Kinkisharyo
vehicles
will
be
more
important
than
ever
to
these
thriving
communities.
